AFUEGA’L PITU CHEESE

One of the oldest and most appreciated cheeses from Asturias comes from where the green valleys roll into the rough Cantabrian Sea, and where the best cattle from the country produce a milk of excellent flavour, the basic ingredient for the cheese Afuega’l Pitu – agreatly appreciated gourmet cheese. The cattle, Fresian and Asturian breeds, graze on the valleys for 12 months of the year, so the production of milk is continuous, and Afuega’l Pite can be enjoyed all year round.

MARISCAL&SARROCA offers the two varieties, classic White and Red, which incorporates paprika in the paste, making this cheese unique. Often the paprika is used on the rind, as a preservative, but in our Afuega’l Pitu the paprika is incorporated in the paste, giving the final produce a delicious flavour and unique colour.
